STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - WEST BRIGHTON - This Dodge Meadowbrook sedan, looking fabulous despite its 60-plus years, was sheltered in the bay of a service station on Forest Avenue on Sept. 6.

The 1950 model was touted for its "long, low, fast lines" in print advertisements at the time.

"It has all the extra roominess and comfort to make it the ideal family car," Dodge promised, noting the vehicle's longer, 123.5-inch wheelbase. "Thrifty people will compare this big six-passenger, four-door sedan with competitive cars."

The spacious interior features chrome fittings and hardware, a center-dome light, and armrests front and rear.
